Full-thickness skin grafts can be anchored to the recipient site using fibrin glue made from the patient's own blood and commercially available thrombin and epsilon aminocaproic acid. The technique works well for small grafts on irregularly contoured sites where suture fixation of a graft would be technically difficult. Full-thickness skin grafts anchored with autologous fibrin glue have been uniformly successful in 50 patients followed for a minimum period of four months.

A patient with necrotizing sialometaplasia of the hard palate was treated with wide resection on a biopsy diagnosis of carcinoma. The literature on this recently identified entity is reviewed and the characteristic clinical features, histopathology and ultrastructure are summarized. To the best of our knowledge, no ultrastructural study concerning this entity has been previously reported. Unless recognized early, an extensive resection might be done needlessly.
